An investigation into the sinking of a yacht off the southwest coast of Ireland last summer has found that a large, discarded trawl net which became entangled in the hull of the sailboat had caused it to break up and sink.

The 'Inish Ceinn' had departed Baltimore in west Cork in the early afternoon of 6 June 2023 for a short journey to Cape Clear Island when it became entangled in the large net off the southern shore of Sherkin Island.

The Marine Casualty Investigation Board's report found that the experienced and calm response of the skipper of the vessel ensured that all four adults and a teenager on board were safely landed, and any potential loss of life was prevented.
